St. Paul, MINNESOTA, March, 2006 – Cinnamon is not just a means for spicing up your food anymore. According to a recent study published in the journal, Diabetes Care, cinnamon helps lower blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Cozmore.com, famous for connecting diabetics with the best diabetes supplies, news and products available in one location free of charge, is pleased to mention this new finding.

The report, the first of its kind, was published in Diabetes Care, illustrated cinnamon’s positive effects on lowering triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL (bad) cholesterol. The study found that 3 grams of cinnamon a day produced the best results but no recommended dosage was named.

Cinnamon is believed to have properties that can often help people with and prone to type 2 diabetes. Studies show that cinnamon may decrease insulin resistance and allow the body to make better use of the insulin that is made in the pancreas. According to these results, cinnamon improves insulin sensitivity which in turn lowers blood glucose levels.

Although these first findings are positive more research must be done in order to determine in cinnamon can in fact help those with type 2 diabetes. With this being said, because an increase in cinnamon intake is not harmful those with type 2 diabetes are encouraged to follow the findings of the report.
